Was the City is Mine by Jay-Z good or shyt?

[OfTheCross]

Basically

 

[get these nets]

terrible

 

[Dolo]

I always liked the hook

 

[360dagod]

Very Dope song

Westside highway vibe

 

[1-8-7-Skillz]

I Love that Song

 

[dizzy4111]

I fukk with it. Sunshine dope too

 

[jaguar paw]

Jay bodied it

 

[Threnody]

He rubbed nikkas the wrong way with that shyt

Biggie just got killt

Hip-Hop is like "we miss you big poppa"


This nikka Jay pop up like he just hit the lottery and shyt



What the deal playboy, just rest your soul

I be holding it down, yo, still love the dough

Got these ladies on the cock now, you know how we go

Got the whole world on lock down, you know how we flow

Don't worry about Brooklyn, I continue to flame


Therefore a world with amnesia won't forget your name

You held it down long enough, let me take those reigns

And just like your spirit the commission remains


nikka sounded happy as fukk

"they claim to be NY king it ain't about that"

 

[I'm Blackman]

First song by him i heard....,made me by the album....been a fan since.

i like it.

 

[Mike the Executioner]

I always liked it. Vol. 1 is borderline classic. Other than "Sunshine" and "I Know What Girls Like," it's Jay at his finest.

His flow on this song was great, too. Like at the start of the second verse when he says:

"You wanna know how I flow, just seek and you'll find
I'm like the brain and the voice box, I speak my mind
I'm about to redefine rap, mami, either I'm
The illest nikka doing it or these nikkas is losing it"

He rubbed nikkas the wrong way with that shyt

Biggie just got killt

Hip-Hop is like "we miss you big poppa"


This nikka Jay pop up like he just hit the lottery and shyt



What the deal playboy, just rest your soul

I be holding it down, yo, still love the dough

Got these ladies on the cock now, you know how we go

Got the whole world on lock down, you know how we flow

Don't worry about Brooklyn, I continue to flame


Therefore a world with amnesia won't forget your name

You held it down long enough, let me take those reigns

And just like your spirit the commission remains


nikka sounded happy as fukk

"they claim to be NY king it ain't about that"

Thinking about it now, it's low-key funny that Jay said "I'm the focal point like Biggie in his prime." Biggie was 24 when he died and he just got killed earlier that year, why is Jay acting like it happened ten years ago?

 

[Master Teacher]

The Hook alone made it a classic, yall nikkaz once again showing your shyt taste in rap

the miami vice flip was dope, but you can't really feel this shyt unless you riding with the top down in that baby blue coup at night time downtown, dusty nikkaz can't relate

 

[CrimsonTider]

Ass

Vol 1 production is so bad and that album is overrated on here

 

[Spaceman Piff]

first time jay unleashed the whisper flow

the city is mine

 

[Piff Perkins]

Wack and corny.

 

[Yehuda]

I like this and "Sunshine", only one I can't stand is "I Know What Girls Like".
